I walked into this place expecting a decent meal. I walked out questioning whether I should nominate the staff for some kind of hospitality award and the kitchen for a Nobel Prize in Flavor Science.
Let’s start with the food. The orange ginger wings? Unreal. Whoever came up with that recipe deserves a raise, a parade, and possibly joint custody of my taste buds. Perfectly crispy, sweet with a kick, and so good I briefly considered ordering a second plate “for the table,” even though the table was just me.
Then came the buffalo chicken sandwich, which I’m convinced was engineered in a lab to ruin all other buffalo chicken sandwiches for me. Juicy, spicy, messy in the best possible way — the kind of sandwich that makes you sit back afterward and reevaluate your life choices, mostly wondering why you haven’t been eating this every week.
But the real MVPs? The people running the show.
The manager Evan checked in like a friendly neighborhood superhero — present, helpful, and somehow everywhere at once without ever hovering - all while dealing with a small issue involving a broken dish in the dining room. And my waitress Candice was an absolute pro: funny, attentive, and so on top of things that I swear she refilled my drink before I even realized it was empty. If she ever decides to run for office, she’s got my vote.
Between the killer food and the A‑tier service, this place is officially on my “drag friends here so they understand” list. Highly recommend.

Our appetizers of RI style calamari and clam chowder were excellent. The Halibut dinner special was cooked to perfection and so delicious. Our waitress was friendly and very efficient.

The hospitality was great but the coleslaw is bland and tasteless, went back and bought blueberry pie. Crust was like cardboard, well-mannered. But some of the food is overrated.

Excellent very well priced food. Best prime rib I have had in a long time. The baked stuffed sole was excellent. Chowder excellent. Good mixed drinks. Service excellent. Bathrooms need a deep clean, and paint touch up.

Very pleasantly surprised! Great menu and service. We ate at the bar. The atmosphere is nice and low key. We can't wait to go back.

Went in here the other day for lunch with my husband and friends. I've been here before and usually everything is great. Food was amazing as always, waitress was nice but I can't remember her name. We sat at a table near the smaller bar area that seemed to be closed, and couldn't help but over hear loud conversations that the waitresses were having that were honestly heartbreaking to hear. Not only this, but I believe the manager was adding in as well about how they believe the business is poorly ran, and overall abuse from higher-ups I suppose. I feel bad for the workers, and don't see the business staying up for very long if the business isn't well ran. Sad to see a great business start to fall. Hope they get new management as we love eating here. Maybe just takeout from now on.

definitely a crows nest. service was very slow and the waitress kept ignoring our table.. tip reflected service. Will not try again as they were very rude when I asked for better side dishes that were not over cooked and mush.. no they did not refund me. and again this place is for local old people only and it shows. shame too as my family goes out to eat weekly if not every other day.. so enjoy missing out on 5+ people

We enjoyed ourselves at the bar for dinner. Homemade soups were delicious Portuguese Clam Chowder and original Clam Chowder was perfect. Scampi fresh and delicious and the prime rib was one of the best ever had. Specialty martinis were good. Wil be back
